Other high-quality synthetic materials may be approved by the village with an approved sample and examples of successful, high-quality local installations.

   1. MX and C-1 Districts: All allowed business, service and commercial activities in MX and C-1 districts must be conducted within completely enclosed buildings unless otherwise expressly stated. This requirement does not apply to allowed off-street parking or loading areas, automated teller machines, outdoor seating areas or drive-through facilities, mobile food vehicles operating on private property, or to incidental display of goods not exceeding 10% of the subject use’s indoor floor area.
   2. C-2 District: All repair, production and work activities must be conducted within completely enclosed buildings in C-2 districts. Outdoor display and storage is permitted in C-2 districts, subject to the following screening requirements:
      1. Outdoor storage or display areas that abut R districts along a side property line or rear property line or are separated from an R district by only an alley along a side property line or rear property line must be effectively screened from view of the R district by a solid wall, solid fence, or dense vegetative screen not less than 6 feet in height. Chain-link fencing does satisfy this screening requirement.
      2. The view of outdoor areas used to store goods and materials that are not available for retail sale to the general public must be visually screened from all contiguous streets other than alleys either by permitted structures or by a vegetative buffer that is at least 6 feet in height or by a combination of such features. Required screening must be located between the perimeter of the outdoor storage area and any property line abutting a public street, other than an alley. This screening requirement is not intended to prohibit openings reasonably necessary for access drives and walkways.
